2025-04-10 / INDOPACOM AOR
An Information Disclosure Analyst from the Office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security sent an email confirming that tearlines from a mission report were approved at the UNCLASSIFIED level. The tearlines state that a US aircraft observed one possible UAP for 12 seconds at 2353Z on 10 April 2025, and one possible UAP for 23 seconds at 0007Z on 11 April 2025, both at unknown altitude and speed, with no interference noted. A PAROC Intel Data Analysis Technician at 12 AF/DET 3 confirmed with the observing unit that the tearlines and the INDOPACOM AOR designation were both UNCLASSIFIED.
2025-01-01 / Western United States
The FBI submitted a still image derived from a U.S. military system to AARO in 2025, depicting a UAP over the Western United States. The grayscale sensor frame shows a centered crosshair reticle with scale markings, a small dark circular object just to the top right of the reticle center, and a faint mountain range at the bottom. The imagery was redacted before submission, no mission report was provided, and the operator reported being unable to positively identify the UAP. The burned-in timestamp reads 12/31/99 18:10:50 but is acknowledged as incorrect due to the system clock not being set.

2025-01-01 / United States
An FBI 302 interview, classified SECRET//NOFORN, documents a senior US intelligence official's first-hand account of a multi-hour aerial search at a US military facility in 2025. Personnel aboard a state partner helicopter observed a "super-hot" orb that came within ten feet of the aircraft before traveling an estimated 20 miles southeast at a speed the helicopter could not match. Over the following thirty minutes, crews observed a swarm of lights too many to count, and repeated formations of four to six oval orange orbs with white or yellow centers that flared up and down in sequence.
